A magisterial narrative by a brilliant young historian. 'Not only shrewd and comprehensive, but written with a wit and vigour that make it a real joy to read. It deserves to be the standard work on the subject for many years to come' Sir Michael Howard, formerly Regius Professor of Modern History, Oxford A magnificent achievement: a one volume history of the epic changes that have remade the continent in the 57 years since the end of the Second World War.
